The lizard Rea is back. With her bleeding lizard tail in hand and fully capable of walking upright, she leads us into the worlds of vulvodynia, endometriosis, and cervical cancer. Rea’s surreal journey and that of her companions invites us to look clearly at gynecological conditions and to approach them with empathy.

DIPPEL. DIAGNOSIS CIN 3 examines the history of the female* body in medicine, how myths and sexism continue to affect the quality of our treatments today, and how transgenerational and collective traumas might be connected to current illnesses. Or simply put: why does a speculum examination feel like shit?

This evening is aimed both at those affected (you are not alone!) and at everyone else. Because the “dippel” wants to grow, the “dippel” wants to burst, the “dippel” wants to argue—strengthening and empowering women*’s health.
